Michael and Joanna were great. The communication was wonderful. They were very accommodating for Sunny and all of his energy. He got to play lots and they kept me updated with tons of pictures throughout his stay. I felt that he was safe and loved during his time with them. I would definitely recommend them & rebook when I need them again.

They also regularly shared photos and sent playful vacation stories written from my dog’s perspective. I would certainly request their service again.

We had such a wonderful experience, this was our second time leaving Korra with Kim, and once again she was amazing. She took excellent care of Korra, and her communication was great, which gave us complete peace of mind. Kim truly went above and beyond; she even got Korra a Christmas gift, which meant so much to us. We’re incredibly grateful and would absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend!

So this was our very first time using the Rover app and services. Ms. Cheryl is one of the best pet sitters ever! She did an amazing job with making sure our Rocky was well-cared-for. She sent pictures and updates and any questions she had, she sent them to us before doing anything that could cause Rocky any stress. She also gave us grape tips ,advice and suggestions for how to better care for Rocky as a husky breed. She gave us such a great experience that we will definitely use her in the future. Ms. Cheryl, you rock!

Tanqueray was phenomenal with my sweet but anxious older little guy. She took his unique needs into consideration as she thoughtfully planned his stay. He was comfortable and happy, which I knew because he doesn’t usually go up to sitters to say bye when I pick him up. But he did this with her. He made new doggy friends on his walks (which he’s also not always up to) and he and Sir, a sweet little guy, got along wonderfully. I’m grateful for Tanqueray and the loving care she took of my pup.

Cheryl cared for our dog Chewie with so much kindness and genuine love it truly meant a lot to us. You can feel when someone has a natural connection with animals, and she absolutely does. From the beginning, she made us feel at ease, and that peace of mind is priceless when you’re away from your pet. We even needed to extend our stay by a night, and she was incredibly understanding and accommodating without hesitation. She also sent us frequent photos and videos, which made us feel so connected and reassured. Seeing Chewie happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for made all the difference. It’s not easy to trust someone with your dog, but Cheryl made it feel effortless. We’re deeply grateful for the love and attention she gave Chewie, and we wouldn’t hesitate to trust her again. Truly a beautiful experience. Highly recommend!

Where do I start !! We boarded my dog for 3 nights for the first time and it went great! Liz and David made everything so smooth and easy. They have one playful dog and two kids that make the experience even more fun for your doggy! They followed her usual routine as close as possible for feeding and sleeping. They updated us with photos and text check-ins daily. So reassuring and relaxing to know your fur baby is not only safe but happy! She literally stared at their house as we drove away! I definitely recommend!

I cannot rave enough about how wonderful Jonelle and her family are! They took such great care of my dog Topo! Topo is an anxious dog but shortly after being dropped off at Jonelle’s house, she was comfortable, playing fetch, and enjoying the company of her family and two pups! She was always sending me updates and photos which help me feel relieved all weekend. I truly would recommend Jonelle’s care if you want your pup to feel at home and be loved like family. Thank you so much Jonelle and family I know Topo had a blast!
